Fix the missing iertutil.dll file in Windows XP

TipsMake.com - For Windows XP users, it is not uncommon to see an error or problem when using it . In the following article, we will introduce and guide you how to fix missing system errors or not find iertutil.dll library on Windows XP or Vista.

If you encounter this problem after upgrading your browser to Internet Explorer 8 version, you can resolve it by restoring the system without having to reinstall it completely. However, the first thing to do here is to determine the information related to the iertutil.dll file that is compatible with which version of Internet Explorer. In this test, we use the iertutil.dll file that can be downloaded here or here. And the question here is how to copy the file to a Windows system that is having problems, specifically the path:

C: WINDOWSSYSTEM32

The easiest way to apply here is to burn the file to a CD, then boot into Windows as usual. Click OK when the iertutil.dll error message is displayed, press Ctrl + Shift + Escape or Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open Task Manager (continue clicking OK when the iertutil.dll error appears), choose File> Run> type cmd and press Enter. The familiar window of the Command Prompt is displayed, go to the CD drive, and then type the following command to copy the iertutil.dll file to the System32 system directory:

copy iertutil.dll C: windowssystem32

For example, here the CD drive is the D drive

Restart the computer and the problem has been fixed.

However, in practice, it is not always possible to apply the above method, such as the computer having an error with no CD drive. If that is the case, please start the browser from Task Manager, preferably Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, do not use Internet Explorer because there is an error. Then, download the file iertutil.dll here, the Save as option may not work, so save it to the default location, then use the Command Prompt to copy the file to the System32 system folder as above.

Another way can be applied is to use the Windows 7 installation disk, then boot into Recovery mode, connect the USB drive containing the iertutil.dll file and copy to the System32 folder in the above way. Good luck!
